Backwards Design: What Will People Learn in Your Course?

Everyone has their favorite readings, ideas and activities that they might want to pull into their courses. But designing a course is about selecting the right elements that will bring about transformation.

a. Find places to MOOC
b. Share places they have MOOCed
c. Share people, places, ideas they have come across in their MOOC travels

To show mastery of the above.

a. Add to a growing list of available MOOCs that arise in their networking. Explain why that MOOC might be worth their time. This amounts to a preview of the MOOC.
b. Review a MOOC
c. Tell digital stories about MOOC experiences. (Vines, movies, zeegas, instagrams, blog reflections) All gathered via tagging of the MOOC.
